    6 medium leeks, trimmed, cut in half lengthways and rinsed
    1/4 cup butter
    2 heaped tbsp plain flour
    2 1/2 cups milk
    1/2 cup cheddar, grated
    12 slices ham
    2 tbsp breadcrumbs

Directions

    Bring a large pan of water to the boil, cook the leeks for 8-10 mins or until tender.
    Melt the butter in a small pan, add the flour. Gradually stir in the milk, mixing to prevent lumps.
    Once it has all been added simmer for 3-4 mins.
    Add three-quarters of the cheese and the Tracklements Strong English Mustard and simmer for 3-4 mins. Season to taste.
    Preheat the grill to high. Drain the leeks thoroughly, wrap each one in 2 slices ham and sit side by side in a greased ovenproof dish. Pour over the sauce.
    Mix the remaining cheese and breadcrumbs together and sprinkle over the top.
    Grill for 5 mins or until brown.
    Serve with crusty granary bread or jacket potatoes.
